Textarea Issue

Im currently modifying an outdated CMS to fit my needs as a torrent link manager. I updated the BBCode textarea to be able to handle html coding because I wanted to be able to use a fancybox javascript. The original bbcode textarea could not do this. If I don't use html the new textarea works fine.

Please keep in mind that I am more comfortable with Html and ASP but I'm quickly trying to pick up basic PHP functions. So bare with my limited knowledge.

Are you sure that you're putting normal quotation marks into the textarea? Normal meaning the ones you get when you use the key on your keyboard to type it into the textarea, not the type you get when you copy and paste something from Word.

If you are using normal quotation marks, then something in your processing code if converting them into directional quotation marks, which won't work in HTML.

Thanks for your reply.
I manually typed the posting to make sure that the quotations are not the issue and I still get the same output.
